Kayden helped pick grapes. There were a lot of grapes! He was a good helper.
Bottling grape juice. So simple yet it takes forever. For next year my friend and I came up with a plan to use two juicers at once to make it go by faster. This year I used just her juicer, but I ordered my own. Next year we will have two!
As I bottled applesauce today, I sat and thought about my mom and grandma. They were major bottlers. Sure love them. When I was younger, I swore I would never bottle food. Too much work. All it took was for me to inherit my grandmother's steamer and bottling equipment and I caught the buzz. Never say never, eh? Happy Fall Harvest!
Wow--I am so impressed! What fun it will be for you to have a sip of summer in the chilling winter months. Or. . .you could just sit and look at it all on the shelves--the bottles are beautiful!
